INSTALLATION
TIPS

Vlier

Installing
Spring Loaded Devices

Ball plungers
and stubby plungers have a screwdriver slot on the rear of the body. Standard
plungers have an allen set-screw. If the recommended installation torques
are exceeded, the possibility of stripping the screwdriver slot or breaking
the set-screw loose exists. To eliminate this possibility, Vlier suggests
that you prototype your installation procedures when using the nylon locking
element in aluminum applications.

Installing
Into Helicoils

Locking helicoils
can cause the same installation problems as the nylon locking element.
You should never use the nylon locking element when also using a locking
helicoil. Regular helicoils may be used in conjunction with the nylon
locking element but Vlier recommends that you may still want to prototype
the installation or call us at
1-800-526-6003.

When using locking helicoils, Vlier suggests that you experiment with
different drill sizes during the tapping operation and determine which
drill size or class of thread gives you the appropriate amount of thread
locking and still allows minimum installation effort.

Using
the Vlier Wrench

The Vlier Wrench
is used when installing a spring loaded device from the front end of the
body. Be aware of the recommended installation torques when using the
Vlier Wrench.

Blind
Hold Application

The bottom few
threads of a blind hole are often imperfect threads and can cause difficulty
when installing spring loaded devices. Vlier recommends that blind holes
be tapped using bottom taps or tapped deeper than necessary, if possible.

Using
Power Screwdrivers

When set on
the lowest torque level, power screwdrivers can provide more constant
pressure on the slot than can be obtained by using a regular screwdriver.
This may allow spring loaded devices to be installed in tight threads
that may not have been possible using a manual screwdriver.
